in denial.
I was diagnosed with GD a week and a half ago. I had a real pity party for one day then got back on track the next. I made a "journal" to track carbs and blood sugar levels and they were 96-111 for fasting and always within range after meals. My doctor still insisted on putting me on 5mg of glybride which made my blood sugar dip to 65 the other morning. So now she wants me to take 1/2 pill but I'm so scared for my sugar to dip again. It was really scary. Part of me is still in denial that I have GD, I don't think my numbers are that bad.
I just can't believe that I have this, I didn't with my first 2 and I can't believe that I have to do this (diet) for 10 more weeks! I think I might actually be losing weight (gasp... the horror!) I know I'm behaving selfishly but... I feel so sad.
Silver lining: healthy baby and maybe I won't gain as much and will lose it easier.
